Product Description
From Library Journal
Boulder, CO, reporter Maxey Burnell, whose main squeeze works as an arson investigator for the fire department, ponders the apparently unnoticed, "accidental" death of bag lady Sylvia Wellman. While trying to fill in the blanks of Sylvia's life, Maxey also attempts to identify the victim of a suspicious fire in her own neighborhood. When she probes too near the truth, a so-called relative of the fire victim threatens her and a costumed villain kidnaps her. Relatively simple plot, lively activity, and comfortable prose make this a nice choice for most collections.

"Who Was Sylvia? Only the beginning!, Feb 23 2002
By Clay Brown - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Who Was Sylvia? (Paperback)
What a fun book to read. Carol Cail has taken a simple neighborhood and a small alternative newspaper to set an entertaining story. Real life people and real life humor are mixed with a variety of seemingly unrelated characters and the result is a stew that is fun, exciting, and truly enjoyable. The unexpected twists and turns keep you glued and surprised.

Intriguing Maxie Does It Again, Jun 28 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Who Was Sylvia? (Paperback)
Who Was Sylvia? by Carol Cail is another Maxie Burnell mystery that will keep you rivited to your seat, and reading long into the night. The characters are so real they could live next door. The writing is crisp, fresh, and humorous, and Cail's fast paced plotting leads the reader to a satisfying conclusion. Can't wait to read the next Maxie Burnell mystery. Keep them coming!

Who Was Sylvia?, Jun 9 2000
By Susan M. Franks - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Who Was Sylvia? (Paperback)
I was anxiously awaiting the next book in the Maxey Burnell Mystery series and am happy to say I was not disappointed. Carol Cail has created a delightful character in Maxey Burnell and it is always fun to get involved in her next adventure. Her characters are genuine people with personalities, situations, and feelings you can relate to. Most importantly, there's always a lively mystery happening that you never lose sight of while you are also unraveling another part of Maxey's life. The reading is easy and enjoyable. If you're a Sue Grafton (Kinsey Millhone) fan, chances are good you'll enjoy Carol Cail's books as much as I do.
